Wenger- Sina mpango wa kusajili

Wenger revealing afterwards that Giroud could be out for up to four
months after undergoing surgery on a broken tibia, it was the ideal
moment for Sanchez to showcase his ability to lead the line.

Asked if Sanchez could play at centre-forward during the period of
Giroud’s absence, Wenger replied: “For three or four months? He can play
his whole life at centre-forward.“I bought him to play striker, not to play only on the flanks.”

Sanchez’s goal was his first since his £30 million ($50.4 million,
37.6 million euros) move from Barcelona, but Wenger said that he did not
see the 25-year-old’s strike as the first repayment on his hefty fee.

“I don’t see it like that,” said the Frenchman.

“He had a good game, not only on the technical side, but on the
fighting side. He was mobile, dangerous, and showed as well he has great
fighting spirit; qualities that will be very important in the Premier
League.”on the possibility of buying any more players…

If
you want to make everyone happy, you just always buy players.

But what
is important is the performance on the football pitch and the solidarity
we have shown tonight.

Having said that, if you look at the players we
have on the bench and those who are injured, we have players.

I believe
you cannot everytime buy when a player is injured.

on a defender or a midfielder being a priority…

We
are open for any position as long as we feel that the player can
strengthen the squad.

Buy to buy, I don't see the purpose of that. If we
find the players who we feel can give something to our squad, we will
do it in any position.

We are open but it has to be enough to buy. It
has to make sense.

on whether he will sign Danny Welbeck…

No.

on whether Alexis can play up front for 3-4 months…

For three or four months? He can play there his whole life. I bought him to play as a striker, not to play only on the flanks.
